What do you think is the best race in ADOM? Of course, any discussion of this nature is likely to be highly subjective, but I'm interested to hear your thoughts.
I'd have to go with Dark Elf - obviously. Awareness and Find Weakness are ridiculously good skills to start off with, and help basically every class. The only downsides are starting as chaotic (which is easily fixed, should you wish to) and low-ish Toughness, which is also fairly easy to fix. Even if you can't, Dark Elf skills make it easier to avoid damage and to do more damage, so it's not so bad. Plus, Dark Elf's the race I've done my three gate closings with, so I'm biased toward them for that reason.
What do you think?
